N2  - This paper presents a complete allocation methodology of resources for safety improvements of a road network. In the first part of the paper, a set of models is estimated to identify so-called "black spots" in the road network. In the second part of the paper, a Linear Programming (L.P.) model is defined for the allocation of a total budget to those projects which ensure the most cost-effective results in reducing road accidents. The specific solution method for the allocation L.P. problem is defined, and its superiority to a cost-benefit analysis for budget allocation is shown through a real world example.<p />
